I really like this map, and although the city has its development tracker that shows the whole city, it would be really nice if this map showed the whole city's development along the existing streetcar route and proposed route. I understand this might be daunting to add all of the projects, but I would be willing to help.

Yo, it's nice to hear someone else is looking at the map of downtown development that I've kept up with for the last couple of years. Sometimes I wonder if it is just me looking at it.

With the streetcar extending south, I've thought about opening it up past 31st (which is what I personally think of as the southern border of downtown). I'll start to add things that come up, and over time add in the historical ones as well. Eventually, I'll get it comprehensive.

This must be an old diagram because I see at least six announced, or finished, projects not shown. The Drury Inn - Board of Education redevelopment at 12th and McGee; the Hyatt House Hotel at 9th and Broadway; the Muehlebach / Clubhouse Lofts redevelopment, which includes a new building at 13th and Wyandotte; the 905 Broadway Lofts; 304 W. 10th Lofts; and the Oggi Lofts at 6th and Central. There is also that apartment building over garage proposal on the SE corner of 9th and Wyandotte, but I can't remember if that is still viable.

I don't know where else to post this, so I decided to post this here. I took the first photo on June 22nd, 2015 from the Link Bridge by Union Station. It is below.

This second photo was from September 30th, 2018 from the same location and it's shocking to see how many things have been built (with even more in the pipeline). Next year, I expect a crane to be up at Three Light, the 1800 project to be underway and Hotel Bravo to have a crane up. I also expect to see City Club making an appearance in this view.

I know for sure I'll do a photo next summer. By then, Loews will have more of an impact and 1800 Walnut should be peaking out. Three Light should also have a crane so the next photo should be just as nice.

With the Kansas City Council’s endorsement Thursday, the city is moving steadily toward a deal on two major office projects in downtown and the River Market that could accommodate a combined 1,800 jobs.

Council members signed off on two ordinances allowing City Manager Troy Schulte to negotiate development agreements for the buildings. One would be at 3rd Street and Grand Boulevard and the other on the southwest corner of 13th and Main streets. Developers on both projects are pursuing tax incentives from Port KC.

The AT&T office building at 500 E 8th St is on the market and it sounds like a redevelopment plan may be coming together (and looking for incentives). The PIEA agenda for this week's meeting includes an item for conducting a blight study. I don't see any indication of the plan.

Resolution approving a Proponent Funding Agreement and authorizing preparation of a Qualification Analysis and General Development Plan for the proposed 500 East 8th PIEA Area.
